New W(y)ork

Nah I havent been to New York in a while, but it sounds like a nice place for an animator. Judging from what my teachers had to say, New York was a good place to make connections and work as an animator. I dont know if it still is.
Either way, I'm alive! I've had tons of work, some of which I want to work a little bit more on before posting it.
Most of what I have today is animation, not amazing, but I put a lot of hard work into it. Also a new character. Any name suggestions for him are welcome.

First is my wave/boat/sack assignment




Now my nameless character, he's an Axolotl. And they could get extinct in their habitat! So whenever you visit Xochimilco be nice to the environment please.

Now, my lift and toss animation! to which I hope I can add more details after christmas (something good might come under the tree this year...) 

This was also my very first time using flash for a frame by frame, drawing by drawing, animation. My hand hurt like crazy! But I hope to get better at working digitally.

balls... and character

So I finally finished my first four animations! :D
I dont love these two, but I worked really hard on them, and I guess the "learn from your mistakes" thing does apply here. Now here are my balloon and my bowling ball, aaaaand dear lord I just saw something I have to fix on the balloon... if I have time....







Also, I finished my character rotation of Goldilocks (the pupet/bear on the blog's banner) it took me like a month less on work than the character I did for my portfolio. I have no idea how did this happen, but I even think it looks decent. The only things that bother me are the line quality and the feet on the front view. I hope my teacher likes it too :/

Portfolio Part 2 ~animation part~ aka the fun part

Actually I had fun doing all of my portfolio. But yeah I guess this was one of the parts I enjoyed the most, except maybe for the storyboard. Don't get me wrong, I love the final thing, but it was hard to do.


Now meet Chiripa :) and her rotation 

please ignore any possible mistakes..... bad thing to look at your portfolio after handing it in... anyway the judges already saw it, and I hope they can forgive my mistakes... but I think its good that I was able to see those mistakes because that means I'm improving... I guess

Next are my action poses and expressions!

Finally for the second part, storyboard! I was so happy they changed the characters, and the story. I just had more practice drawing girls and dogs :P

End of part 2
